Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The job characteristics model stresses the importance of five core job dimensions: skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback. Adele should establish task identities by ensuring that each job involves a complete piece of work with a visible outcome. This will provide workers with a sense of ownership and pride in their work. Increasing salaries and setting high quality standards are important, but do not necessarily enrich jobs. Buying better equipment is not a core dimension of the job characteristics model.
